CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING THE V7122 GATEWAY

The V7122 gateway is supplied with application software already resident in its flash memory (with factory default parameters).

Section Assigning the V7122 Gateway IP Address describes how to assign IP addresses to the V7122. Section Configuring the V7122 Basic Control Protocol Parameters describes how to set up the V7122 gateway with basic parameters using a standard Web browser (such as Microsoft TM Internet Explorer).

Section Assigning the V7122 Gateway IP Address applies equally to H.323 and SIP.

Assigning the V7122 Gateway IP Address

The V7122 gateway is composed of one or two identical media gateway modules. These media gateways are fully independent, each gateway having its own MAC and IP addresses (Table 6 shows the default IP addresses of the V7122 gateway). To assign an IP address to each of the V7122 gateway modules use one of the following methods:

ƒHTTP using a Web browser (see Assigning an IP Address Using HTTP).

ƒBootP (see Assigning an IP Address Using BootP).

ƒThe embedded Command Line Interface (CLI) accessed using Telnet (see Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI).

ƒDHCP (see the V7122 Digital Gateway User Guide).

Table 6 lists the default IP addresses of the V7122 gateway. You can use the Reset button at any time to restore the V7122 gateway networking parameters to their factory default values (see Restoring Networking Parameters to their Initial State).
